I bought a fantom vacuum on HSN about 9 years ago.Whan it was delivered the first one was broken so they sent a second one.tThat one also was cracked on covering for brush. I called and they told me they were no longer available,so I kept that one,since it would cost me shipping to return.The back right side wheel evenually cracked and fell off.I was able to put it back on and it would stay for a few weeks or so.It now has a large piece of plastic that has broken off the wheel where the bolt fit

I am replacing a foot pedal on an upright Sharp vacuum cleaner-EC-TU2607.
I have the broken foot pedal removed from vacuum cleaner proper but it is the removal of the broken pedal from its spring load that has me puzzled.
I applied some pulling effort on the pin that holds the spring in place but there doesn't seem to be any give.
Is that the correct approach or is there something else that one should be doing first to release some of the resistance by the pin or spring?
Thanks!

I have a problem with my model 6585-3 bissell upright powerforce bagless turbo with turbo brush vacuum The brush has quit spinning upon removal i noticed that one side of the brush was free to spin the other side that has the rectangular piece to help hold into place seems to be locked up and will not spin is it corroded or have i lost a piece that joins with it that allows it to spin freely belts are good and motor is turning brush will not budge

Its hard to explain, I have a 4704 p Boss LightWeight Upright. The piece that holds the bagless cup onto the vacuum broke. So now the cup falls off, is there a way to get another piece or would i have to by a new vacuum for this one little piece being broken

The top front corner of the rake assembly on our Littermaid Mega box is broken off. Where and/or how can we get a replacement assembly to fix this. Because the piece is broken off, the "wheels" on that side do not like to stay in the rail and the rake doesn't work properly.

Broken Elevator? One side of my brush will not stay up. Could this be a broken elevator? I think the elevator (black piece) has fallen into the machine. How do I get into the bottom to get the piece out and repair/replace it?

I have Necchi Lydia 544, inheretade, and don't know which way the needle is fixed! what side does the flat part of the needle face? Also, what are the two bobbin holders on behind the main body of the machine, and how do they work? And, how the hairy heck! do I thread it?
finally, for now! How do I get the bobbin holder to ...a...hold the bobbin, and b...make it stay in the machine, ..well, it obviously attaches in one way only, and I cannot find that way!?

Rod problem... One of the electrical connection posts that are on the top of the rod appears to be broken which causes the power head to work only when it makes contact. Is this repairable? If not, is it replaceable? If not, are the rods available for purchase? The vacuum cleaner itself works well,

I have a Tomy Up Down Change Around Roller Coaster that does not power up. I disassembled it and it has a small unmarked rechargeable battery. The coaster car is supposed to hook into a unit that holds one "D" size battery and has two metal prongs that press into the side of the car. Any advice on what the battery type might be or how to find out?

The plastic housing that holds the beater bar on my dyson 17 won't stay on on one side (where the wires connect) Does anyone know how I can fix this?

2002 esb avalon tanning bed 220volts. 2 lights out on top side by side and two on bottom side by side and one by itself checked all fuses on top and bottom one was blown changed it to new fuse and it blew right away what could be the problem

When we turn on the vacuum, the canister falls open. The clips holding the canister in place do not seem to hold the canister tightly which I'm sure that it did in the past. The clips do not look bent, but every time we turn on the vacuum the intense pressure blows the canister open only remaining attached the the rest of the vacuum by one clip

Check filter and make sure it is kept clean at regular intervals. Possibly worn out clip retainers on cannister side due to excessive pressure build up. Do not force closure unless pressure is back to normal. May crack cannister or damage unit beyond ...

I have a Series G Kirby Model G7D. The other day when I was vacuuming all of a sudden the TechDrive (Power Drive Assist N/D) pedal fell off. I see the hole that it goes into but when I put it in it's loose and falls out and doesn't control the power drive anymore. When I shook the vacuum I heard something rattling around inside the vacuum head. So I unscrewed the bottom and looked inside and found a small metal part labeled K3 on one side and T on the other side. It looks like it would fit

One of my Levolor double-honeycomb blinds is no longer level (one side goes up faster than the other). Another of my blinds (same brand, model) seems to have broken, with one side no longer rising. Both blinds are about 9 years old. Is there any way to fix them? Or, does it make more economic sense to replace them? Thank you!

On-off switch My problem is finding a source for an on-off switch for an electrolux vacuum sweeper model 2100. I have replaced the broken toggle and now the sweeper turns on but only as long as the outside button is depressed. It appears that the on-off switch itself is broken as the switch does not ''hold'' when the toggle is activated. It seems to return to it's ''off'' setting as soon as the toggle is released. What ''holds'' the switch in its ''on'' position? Does it depend only on the on-

Hi Hugh. The 2100 has a rocker switch under neath the button. it is probably broken, or the button has a worn detent spring. If you would like, I could send you a switch kit with the rocker, button, and detent spring enclosed for around 20 dollars ...

I just bought a foldaway hoover with wide path. I plugged it in and started to vacuum and dust flew everywhere. Walmart would not give me my money back so they gave me another hoover foldaway with the wide path. I thought this one might work. This one does the same thing. It blows dust out the sides and you can't vacuum with it. Any help would be great.

Your Vac probably does not have a filter installed inside the unit, that is why fine dust escapes through the vents. Remove the dirt canister/cup from the unit and you will see a filter frame behind. Possibly the filter itself is missing or wrongly i ...

I need to change out the short hose on the underside of my older Dyson DC 07 Animal (Light Purple). It is the one less than a foot long on the underside which is attached on one end to the main body of the vacuum(I was able to remove this one) and the top of the upper soleplate. The latter one seems to be glued or otherwise permanently attached.Any assistance you could give me on this would be greatly appreciated....Thanks

Hello Cynthia,\015\012\015\012It's not glued, but it can be a little difficult to remove. You need to twist and pull at the same time and it should pull off. If it's being stubborn, squirt a little bit of WD40 / penetrating fluid where th ...

I have a Filter Queen Majestic canister vacuum cleaner. At the end of the wand, a button to release the attachement not only broke, but also one eyehole on the wand where one nipple on the button falls into. So therefore a new button isn't going to fix the wand because there isn't a hole on one side of the area where the button falls in place for a nipple to secure the button in place. IS THERE A REPLACEMENT PART FOR A NEW SECTION OF THE WAND WHERE THE RELEASE BUTTON IS SECURED IN PLACE THAT I C
